Cameron Young Narrowly Progresses To BMW Championship
1 year agoCameron Young finished T31 at last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, which placed him 46th in the FedEx Cup playoff standings. Although Young barely made the top 50 cut to move on to the BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs, he finished T23 at last year's edition. Last year, Young ranked 25th in strokes gained off-the-tee and 47th in strokes gained on approach. It's worth noting that Young has been exceptional on approach shots from 100-150 yards in the fairway this year, ranking in the 93rd percentile in greens in regulation and the 94th percentile in strokes gained per shot. At the 2020 BMW Championship (the last time this tournament was played at Olympia Fields), 42% of approach shots came from 125-175 yards, which makes Young worth consideration for fantasy lineups this week.
